BTW, Costco has removed the listing for the Switch 2 entirely.
On Reddit, I found this suggestion to track their inventory.

Re: Nintendo Switch 2 - 06/05/25
 

Yeah, as I said, I finally lost :lol: I was trying not to buy one but did the invitations and preorder to still have the chance to get one, but I could always back out.

Re: Nintendo Switch 2 - 06/05/25
 

Ohh thanks doing that now!

Re: Nintendo Switch 2 - 06/05/25
 

What game do you want that made you break? Or is it just the FOMO of not having the hardware?

Re: Nintendo Switch 2 - 06/05/25
 

It was mostly that I didn't think overall I'd be into as many games to justify the purchase but so far Mario Kart World and Bananza have Assist Mode and I finally decided, darn it, Imma get good at games and not just give up first time I don't pass. But I'll think I'll find enough games to justify the hardware, which was my only concern (I'm not into consoles, I'm a PC gamer).

Ohh thanks!

Re: Nintendo Switch 2 - 06/05/25
 

Oh, and the nail on the coffin was I was browsing Youtube and it recommended a Mario Kart World video and I saw it and that was that, it looks like a tremendous amount of fun, both single player and online matches.

Re: Nintendo Switch 2 - 06/05/25
 

I'm not a Mario Kart expert by any means. Only reason I have World is because it was the bundle I had access to buy first. That being said, a lot of Kart lifers I've spoken to have said that it's not as good as 8 on Switch 1, overall.

Re: Nintendo Switch 2 - 06/05/25
 

Darn it you're starting to talk me out of it again :lol:

I own the Switch one and in five years have put less than 10 hours into MK8D. I use it mostly for picross. Back then the PC wasn't giving out good picross games but that has changed and now it rivals the Switch.

I hate platformers and I guess that's what Bananza is.

I mostly don't enjoy Nintendo games.... Pikmin, Zelda, Smash Bros, Kirby, etc. I have Sonic Crossworlds on preorder (Sept 2025) and I still play speedstorm 26 months later every day. So maybe just hold out 3 more months until Crossworlds comes out.

What I dislike about consoles is that there's a hardware entry point. I like to get an hour of gameplay per dollar spent. We already own a PC that we use for everything so it's just the cost of the software. I have a Legion Go so I can play all Windows games on the go. Literally the only games I can't play are Switch-only games. That's it. And that's mostly Nintendo first party games because third party tend to be released on the PC.

I'd have to put in 500 hours on Mario Kart World to get my money's worth. That's 15 minutes a day every day for 8 years.

Re: Nintendo Switch 2 - 06/05/25
 

Have you tried Mario Odyssey? DK is made by the same team and will basically be a spiritual successor. If you don't like MO, I can't imagine you would enjoy DK when it comes out.

Re: Nintendo Switch 2 - 06/05/25
 

Hated it. Tried to get into it many many many times with assist mode on. Gave up after five minutes. Hate the boss battles where you have to deal with minions then go for the boss at a specific time.

Re: Nintendo Switch 2 - 06/05/25
 

Yeah I'm out thanks for talking some sense into me Noonan :lol:

My local library has over 400 Switch games, 99% of them without a wait time. Whenever I get the itch to get the S2 I'll just check out a game :lol:

Re: Nintendo Switch 2 - 06/05/25
 

I am still holding strong.

"Never give up. Never surrender!"

Re: Nintendo Switch 2 - 06/05/25
 

Ha!

I can't imagine anyone hating Mario Odyssey. That was the sort of game I just love. But as they say, different strokes for different folks.
I'm sure you are okay waiting for now Deb. As for me, just a week until I get to play DK Bananza!!!! :banana:

Wal*Mart just had a restock available for + members like a day or two ago, I remember seeing tweets from Wario64 about it.

How do you get into that special section?

I see how it works, Walmart+ gets first dibs the first hour and then it opens to everyone.

Re: Nintendo Switch 2 - 06/05/25
 

It's up right now at Wal*Mart, gogogo.
Console only though, not the bundle.

Re: Nintendo Switch 2 - 06/05/25
 

Still live...

Re: Nintendo Switch 2 - 06/05/25
 

Ah, console only, no if I
​​​​​ get one it'll be the bundle only.

Sorry was taking a nap lol

Re: Nintendo Switch 2 - 06/05/25
 

Game vouchers will be discontinued after January 30, but at least you’ve still got 6 months and change to use ‘em!

I think this was known information, but I just saw it resurface on social media, so…errr, maybe just consider this a reminder. :)

Re: Nintendo Switch 2 - 06/05/25
 

Correction: You still have six months to BUY them. They can still be used for 12 months after purchase. So if you bought two on Jan 30, 2026 you could wait until Jan of 2027 to use them.
But since they aren't valid for Switch 2 exclusive games, there probably isn't anything new after Metroid Prime 4 that you could use them on.
